"I am an alcoholic" -makes me want to cry

Hello,

I don't know exactly when it happened, the flipping of the switch in regards to alcohol. I know with certainty, within the past year, my brain chemistry permanently changed and I cannot have one drink without physical consequence. Not to mention all the consequences of years of abuse. Yet, I continue to drink and drug. It makes no sense. Obviously, if you are allergic to something, one would refrain from doing it, right?
Yet, I cannot stop.
I need help coming to terms with the fact that I am an alcoholic.
It feels like and I suppose I am, mourning the loss of a friend.
